Brave New World


            
             The issue of morality over scientific progression and happiness pertaining to an artificial utopian society is a very controversial one. Some people disagree with the eternal bliss of a utopia because of the belief that ignorance is bliss and, according to Brave New World, there could be no living side by side with happiness and knowledge. Others, however, agree that if it could be acquired in all its glory, a utopian society would be an ideal place to live. Everyone has his own reasons for supporting or objecting to the ideal, tranquil life that is accomplished through Utopia ideals. All members of our group- including Nate Prescott, Julia Mineky, and Allison Schroeder- came to the consensus that we would prefer our society over that which was portrayed in the book Brave New World or Thomas More's proposition. .
             Nate Prescott found that the characters in Brave New World seemed to be void of any real emotion or soul and just existed by way of their conditioning. "Whatever they did, whatever choices they made, and whenever they thought they were happy, or on the contrary- not happy, it was a result of what they had been conditioned to think or feel during their whole life." Nate said that the new world inhabitants seemed more like useless robots roaming the planet then real thinking, feeling humans. Nate would describe his own personal utopia quite differently. His inhabitants would more closely resemble those of More's society in which they could think and feel for themselves.
             In general, Julia would say she agrees with Nate's perspective on the whole mindless droid issue. Also, she addresses the issue of communism's flaws and why it would never work in a real society. She says that people would take advantage of the "sharing" situation by taking more than they deserved and acting out. The main reason that communism wouldn't work is that humans have selfish instincts and they would just use others to try to get a better life.
